HARDSHIPS OF IMMIGRANTS.

Among the immigrants who arriv-
ed at Chicago from New York the
other day, was middl-aged couple
in Norwegian dress. The man was
loaded down with baggage and the
woman was almost as heavily laden,
as in addition to her bundles she
carried little baby boy. They sat
down on their luggage to rest, when
suddenly the woman began to shrek.
The crowd that pressed around her
quickly discovered that the little
baby she had nursed 50 closely to
her bosom was dead. A street wagon
was called and the little body was
taken to the morgue. The next in
stant the bells rang, the whistles
blew, and the hired herders of i'm
migrants drove aboard the train, and
in the rush the bereaved parents
drifted until they were borne away
into the Northwest, where they were
seeking new home. This incident
illustrates the hardships of immi.
grants.

STATE ROAD.

President Joseph L. Brown has
asked the Legislature to appoint a
committee to determine the amount
of compensation due the lessees of
the w. 4 A. Railroad for betterments.
He claims that the lease contract
only requires the lessees to turn over
the road in as good condition as they
found it, and that their rolling stock
is double what they received, and
that unless they are paid for all this
they will take up Il miles of sideling
track, replace the present steel rails
with worn out iron rails, sell off the
surplus box cars and engines, in or
der to return it in as good condition
as they received it." 1t seems from
this that President Brown has the
bulge on the State, and will have to
be paid for betterments, or the road
will be left in very inefficient con-
dition, and unable to compete with
It's great rival for patronage.
That equity and justice require a
fair and impartial consideration of
the lessees' claims, is not to be ques-
toned. The State cannot afford to
allow the lessees to wreck the road
by dismantling it of its best equip
ments. We think Senator Brown
has acted well in the premises by
giving the State ample notice before
the expiration of the lease, SO the
State can act with wisdom and fore
sight and meet the emergencies that
will confront the Legislature before
the road is released. He gives infor-
nation they need to enable them to
act intelligently.
We dc not think, though, that the
lessees can remove the steel rails or
tear up the side tracks. This would
be to damage the property, and no
tenant has the right to do that no
matter what improvements he might
put ON a house or farm. Neither
can the lessees fairly claim that the
State shall reimburse them for these
improvements; but as to the surplus
rolling stock that is another question
in which the lessees, it would seem
have rights that the State cannot
very well ignore, unless there was an
understanding that there would be
no pay demanded for betterments tC
the States indulgence not to exact &
new bond in the place of the one de
clared to be worthless.
We see that DIR. FELTON, has intro
duced some resolutions requiring thu
Governor to protect the State's prop
erty by enioining the lessees from
removing any of their rolling stool
or steel rails, empowering him to US,
the Sheriff of the several countie
and posse comitatus, through whicl
the road runs, to prevent any appa
rent intention on the part Of the les
sees to remove the rolling stock an,
other movable property to the Stat
of Tennessee.
There is a good deal of excitemen
in the Legislature over this resolu
ton as well as Senator Browns let
ter, and some contend that the court
will have to settle the matter.
